You can redirect anything under the "User Shell Folders" registry key. Here is a quick example of a group policy adm template you can use. You can set the data to a UNC path (\\fileserver\%username%$\cookies) or use a mapped drive (H:\cookies). This example will place the cookies under a folder in the users home drive, so it will not roam with the profile. --------------------------------start of adm------------------------------------------------- CLASS MACHINE CLASS USER CATEGORY "USER Custom Settings" CATEGORY "Folder Redirection Settings" POLICY "Redirect My Documents" EXPLAIN "By default files are stored as part of the user's profile.\n\nConfigure alternative locations here."

PM Please respond to thin Hello all, I am using Roaming Profiles (Metaframe XP Farm, win2000) and have used group policy to redirect folders. This seems to work fine, only problem is cookies folder. This folder can not be redirected using standard GPO policies. Number of files in Cookies folder increases and now slows down logon for several users. I have tried searching but dont find any infomation how to deal with this problem. I dont want to disable cookies totally since this will cause problems for some users.
